We were trying to speak to him nicely when we offered him a side salad with his Tiger's burger.But somehow sauerkraut got lost in the translation.

If only Two Kevs 2014 engines worked as quick as that Berlin airport burger.

Maybe you know something then?

Contradicting yourself a wee bit there mate.

You wish. Game's changed with the Facennas coming in.

One league when tried before wasn't the best entertainment. Too many races with one guy way out in front.

Anything is possible with Glasgow. Anything. The only folks not getting that (not suggesting you chucks) are those who ... well, do get it ... or Embra fans happy to drag everyone else down out of fear/jealousy. Start of the season, the Facennas said they had a long term plan, they've been people of their word so far. There's still plans for the stadium to come to fruition, promised changes to meeting presentation next year and team changes will be part of that. These guys think big, think outside the box and don't do things by halves. Anything is possible. Previous post I made about the Facennas buying Armadale stadium wasn't a joke. Also made one on FB about paying an inflated fee for Cook in return for Friday's. Wasn't joking. It's quite simple really to a business mind. Edinburgh need money Cook has shown a desire for money. Successful rider. Facennas have money, want success. And for the cynics, this time last season, would you have believed the Ashfield stadium you now see would have happened?

Totally agree with your sentiment. However, my point is about financial viability, I'm far from stuck in the 70s when it comes to business.

Of course. What do the paying public know about anything, anyway?Customers = Fools Hmm!

Would it be the same number of meetings? Unless I'm missing something, how can it be if all meetings are on a Friday and season duration is the same? Stadium availability where facilities are shared and accommodating rain-offs would be issues. So why I think it wouldn't work ... 1. Sky - Do they need another Friday night sport? No. Speedway is close to being a niche sport. It currently fills an empty Monday night during summer months. By all accounts, Sky only re-signed a deal to stop BT getting it. No Sky money ... disaster. Assuming it's not the same number of meetings. 2. Speedway needs continuity for fans to get in the routine of attending. Too many other non-speedway distractions to get folks out the routine. 3. Gate money halved. 4. In stadium fans' spend on drinks, food, tat - greatly reduced. 5. Sponsors - Half the exposure, half the investment. Riders and clubs. 6. Less top class riders = lesser product = less outside investment. On the plus side, less travel and wage costs.

Pedersen looked like he couldn't even be arsed with Masters. IMHO, Masters was just trying to make a name for himself and/or get in with the rider "in crowd". Wouldn't have done the same to Woffy or Hancock if either had done the same as Pedersen. Not that they probably would.

Alternate weeks would be a financial disaster for clubs, can't see it working out at all.

Taking into account the likely asking price, his age and current economic climate a loan may be the option as can't imagine too many clubs could afford, nor wish to pay, an outright transfer fee.

No surprise there.

We can forgive Worrall. Are we now starting to see things leaking out of BSPA via Edinburgh fans again?

I actually like Sam, but he needs to curb that temper. Throwing punches does him no favours whether provoked or not. Even if you view it from a sporting POV, rather than a moral one, he's showing others his weakness.

Not what you said in the Edinburgh/Sheffiled thread post 43, when commenting on Masters hitting Baby Bjerre .... Quote ... "Bjerre wasn't stuck under his bike at all his bike was at the side of him he was sitting leaning against the air fence when Sam went over and kneeled down beside him lost it and punched him. I'm not defending Sam as what he did was wrong" C'mon MrB on Edinburgh/Glasgow threads you might get away with your bullish, tongue in cheek bias. But on a GP thread, like Sam Masters in a GP, you're in with the big boys.

With a name like Dyson, shouldn't he suck?

Not if Glasgow bought Cook and paid Embra an inflated fee to change their race night.

Is that affordable?

At his age this is a major decision. We all need cash to live.

All history now.

Please don't give Lord Fiveone any ideas, I'm in enough doo doo as it is. Only way life could get better is if Michelle Pfeiffer moved in, revealed (steady!) a love of speedway and had no prior knowledge of the dark side to Edinburgh Monarchs. Oh and also liked dirty things .... No not that, I meant Armadale staduim.

FFS DavyH with a post that length Lord Cyclone our newly self appointed administrator will be jumping on your heid.On second thoughts, as youse two are brethren, I can hardly expect him to be consistent. Hey, don't worry about holidays in October 2016, book those cheap flights now, as you'll not be in any finals next year! Now, after your sensible and humorous interlude can the rest of us get back to petty and ill informed hatred and point scoring?

I've heard from reliable sources on numerous occasions that is exactly the case. First heard this in May, and several times since.
